Falling In Love

Chapter 5.

I still thought about what happend in Mississippi with Jace. I couldn't shake off the feeling I had in the pit of my stomach. I couldn't forget his deep voice, his gorgeous baby blue eyes, his perfect body with faint abs and broad shoulders, he had thick dark hair that seemed to always be perfectly positioned. I couldn't get him out of my mind. I wanted to forget him but I couldn't. I trailed off but had to snap back to reality and finish getting dressed. This is the first time I'd get to see Greyson in two weeks. His training had got extened. I heard his truck pull up so I walked outside.

"Hey beautiful." He said sweetly pressing his lips against my forehead. "You look different. Have you gotten shorter?" He teased.

"No, I don't think I have." Something didn't feel right, something felt off about him. He looked completely the same but the feelings were so different.

"So, where are we going?"

"I'm taking you out to get the best barbecue in town and back to my house to watch scary movies all night."

"Sounds great love." I loved having simple dates. Nothing too crowded, nothing too expensive, it was something just right.

We sat on the couch eating the barbecue sandwiches and fries watching Insidious. Greyson's phone lit up and I couldn't help but look over and noticed he got a message. I just so happened to read the last part...Baby I miss you. Can't wait to see you next time you're in town. I froze and acted as if I didn't see that. It must've been a wrong number or something.

"Who was that?" I asked hoping he'd say it was a wrong number or that he didn't know.

"It was my coach. He needs to see me Wednesday." He lied to me. What coach texts someone at 10 at night, what coach would call him "baby"? I thought to myself as my eyes filled with tears.

"Liar! You're liar. I saw what she said! How could you? Why? I wasn't enough for you? I wasn't good enough?" I didn't realize it but I was yelling at him. He stood up and hit me. I fell in the floor and felt blood come down from my head. I cried.

"You both mean the same to me. I love both of you equally. I wanted to tell you and make sure you were okay with this." It was sick. He thought I'd be okay with this. That he could have both of us. No.

"You hit me. You f*cking hit me." Ignoring what he had even said about the other girl.

"I had to show you discipline. You are not allowed to shout at me." He's sick. How could I not of realized this.

"I want to go home." I said calmly.

"Fine get in the truck."

"I want to walk." I told him.

"You'll get in the truck if I say get in the truck!" He yelled.

I woke up to realize what had happened last night. I wobbled over to the bathroom to look at my head. It was bruised and still cut open. Last night was blurry, I must've hit my head on something when Greyson hit me. I began to cry. How could I have been so stupid. I showered and dressed. I wanted to ask someone for help, I needed to talk to someone. My dad would flip his shit and Allison was out of town for the summer on mission trips with the church. Jace, maybe he could help. I grabbed my phone and called his number. It rang sever times before I heard the phone pick up.

"Hello?" I heard a croaky voice say.

"Hi, umm, it's Avery."

"Avery, sorry I just woke up. What's wrong, I can tell something's wrong."

"I..I need your help Jace. I don't know what to do. I didn't know who else to talk to." My voice began to fade.

"What's up? You know you can tell me. I'll help you the best I can." He sounded so sincere.
